Nokia Lumia 1520 = greatest gadget / phone for years.

[Art Barr]

Go back to AT&T and pour jelly on yourself brehs

personally, I would use page plus.
if they had the right data plan.
out of all the phone services, page plus, was my favorite with a smart phone.

Lumia 928 in the hizzouse

you can not get he at&t version and use it on tmobile.
as, it has the pr'd at&t 4g inhibitor on the Lumia 1520.
so, if you take it to tmobile.
it only allows 2g speed.
it has been pr'd finally by at&t.
after they denied it.
next tat&t need it ownnup to bombing phones, when upgrades come out.
or you leave their service.
at&t bombed my iPhone and my lumia 900.

Your wrong Breh. I have an unlocked lumia 1020 from ATT that I use without any problems on Tmobile, 4G and all. The Nokia 1520 att variant shares similar bands with the 1020. ATT phones will only work on tmobile once they are unlocked. To get them unlocked, I hear the best move is too have someone that has service with ATT to unlock it for you. ATT apparently refuses to unlock it's phones for non at customers.

even if you get it unlocked,..it still regulates it back to 2g.

look it up,.....
lemme find the link for you.
I been all over trying to find a domestic solution to this.
right now,..at&t has the 1520 on lock.
the 1020, does not have this chip, to regulate bandwidth like the att 1520 has.
I had a lumia 900, at&t bombed.
so, I had to get a new lumia phone with tmobile.
got this downgrade 521, till I find a solution to this 1520.
plus, I want a 1520 32G, in white,. and they only come in black, so far.
at&t, is on beast mode to keep from losing customers to tmobile.
shyt if you had an old Samsung galaxy, as far back as to a galaxy ii.
you could have traded it for a 1520, on at&t.

I read a bit back, if you are in a refarmed lte area.
the 1520 may work on tmo lte network speeds.
yet, that has been a rumor and not really confirmed.

Well i go to a windows forum and I know quite a few people that use their unlocked att variant 1520s on T-Mobile with no issue. This is honestly the first time thatim hearing about such a chip, and ive been following this closely. I actually purchased the international variant Nokia 1520, but had to return it because it didn't have the compatible 4g bands that the att variant does. As long as 4G is pervasive in your area, you should be fine. Check the T-Mobile 4G website to get a better idea of how your areas coverage for 4G is.

another bad thing about getting a cracked 1520 from at&t is it does not work with a wireless charger.

I called tmo about this.
as I was pissed I need some way to get this phone.
after my lumia 900 was compromised.

also,....
it seems you missed the simple points when buying the interntional 1520.
that anyone who was trying to get an international 1520 variant talked about, on the forums.
which was getting the right network compatible 1520.
so, real talk....
I will just take tmo, and at&t's talk about the phone, for now.

hopefully, tmobile gets off that bullshyt and stocks this phone.

as real talk....
I don't like android, and I absolutely hate iPhone, anything.
after that bullshyt iPhone lost my fukk'n book I was writing.
windows phone has been that deal, for me.

What's the point of propping up a phone u can only get with one carrier. AT&T.

And why wouldn't Nokia want to compete with apple and samsung by making it available on every major carrier

 

[thephatmack]

After having for a few months - its getting even better.
HNow with Bing Health, Food and Drink, Travel. It really does make the perfect companion.
When 8.1 comes out in April the phone will have a siri equivalent, more tile options, IE 11, more use of the full res... basally its going to get better.

Nothing from the MWC inc the galaxy s5 can touch this.. galaxy is still plastic cheap looking for a start.

Again its the best gadget on the market.

 

[thephatmack]

I should add.. its still a bit big to use as a day to day phone that you'd hold to your ear!
If you get one.. use the speaker or headphones...


Overall though it does way more than an ipad.

Does this phone fit in an average sized pocket?

not sure why in the fukk, nokia/windows would do this, at all.

part of the problem why the nokia lacks permeation is they did this with the lumia900.
on top of the fact, they have such a small number of apps.
now, the apps they do have are incredibly high quality and effective.
yet, they lack diversity in that area.
the only way they would have more apps.
is to get more people using the phone.
that would up the demand for more diversity in apps.

yet, and still...
I can do more with my lumia based apps that I like to do.
than, I could do with my iPhone and it is no comparison in that regard.

I have no idea why nokia would follow the original at&t only carries iPhone situation with this phone.
when, if the phone was more compatible with other services.
it would create higher profitability.

on top of the fact, at&t continues to ask for alterations, to the phone.
that most people into this type of phone don't like.

on top of the fact, no one really likes at&t.
they only use them, because of the lack of higher end phones on the other services.

services like virgin, boost, metro, net10, page plus, and others.
should be trying to up to premium phones like these.
to close the gap with their lower priced services.

Great news! New, unlocked variant of Nokia 1520 (Nokia 1520.3) just released that supports ALL US LTE Bands (on Tmo and ATT), has built in qi charging AND 32 gb internal memory with expandability of up to 128gb of memory with a micro SD! The holy grail of Windows phones in my opinion.

Main drawback is cost though. $625 on Newegg...

I couldn't see the specs, readily.
anyway, if it does not work on 1700 band.
it will not work on tmobile's 4G LTE.

Just copped. Will be relegating the HTC M8 to backup status. Very excited to play with this beast.
